Alaska forward Gabby Espinas says there was never an intention on his part to hurt Meralco's Cliff Hodge, adding the physicality was borne out of his desire to get into rebounding position. Jerome Ascano

DESPITE being slapped with a hefty P20,000 fine for his hard foul on Cliff Hodge, Gabby Espinas said he won't change his style of play going to Alaska’s knockout match against Barangay Ginebra for a berth in the semifinals of the PLDT myDSL-PBA Philippine Cup on Saturday.

With the Hodge incident behind him, the 6-foot-4 Espinas said he actually looks forward to matching up against either Greg Slaughter, the 6-foot-11 Ginebra rookie center, or the 6-foot-9 high-leaper Japeth Aguilar one last time this conference at the Astrodome.
